The California Air Resources Board today proposed an aggressive climate action plan that drastically reduces fossil fuel dependence, slashes pollution. It’s the latest blow to the well-funded lobbyists of Big Oil, climate-change deniers and other special interests.
The plan will cut air pollution by 71%, reduce fossil fuel consumption by 86%, and reach carbon neutrality by 2045.
Since California is the fourth largest economy in the world*, it will have a tremendous impact on other US States and international economic blocks as the demand created for cleaner fuels and methods will be a so-called virtuous circle that encourages innovation and then adoption of what emerges for economies of scale.
